“Aren’t you a little politically conceded by the pardon proposal?” (Progressor) “Yes, it was a lot of scolding. I hope it will be concluded with the President’s words. I think that’s the right thing to do.” (In addition, Lee Nak-yeon, CEO of the Democratic Party) On the 19th, Lee appeared at the (MBC)’News Desk’ and fell flat. It was an apology for the pardon offer. In less than a month, the message that was ambitiously brought out as the first topic of the new year on the 1st was collected. In the survey on the preferences of the next political leaders conducted by Gallup Korea on the 12th and 14th (±3.1% points for a 95% sample error), Lee recorded 10%, down 6% points from the previous month. In the Gallup poll released on August 14 last year (±3.1% points on the 95% confidence level of the sample error), Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong allowed the first reversal, and then fell down. With this branch (23%), there was more than a double score. In particular, the decline has been large since the’proposal for amnesty’. “With the offer of amnesty, the approval rating disappeared like a sand castle. The position of’Moon Jae-in successor’ was firm, but its strength disappeared. Supporters are suspicious of’Is it sure that Lee Nak-yeon succeeds Moon Jae-in?’ This is the essence of the crisis.” (Party official) Lee, who was staggering with the’proposal for amnesty’, is reorganizing the front line by going all-in to’resolve the polarization of the corona’. On the 11th, CEO Lee said, “It is the era of corona polarization. “K-character polarization, which gives higher incomes for high-income groups and more for low-income groups,” he stressed the seriousness of the polarization by directly raising words that are sarcastic about the situation of the government and ruling party. It also came up with a new proposal called’profit sharing’. Since then, wherever they go, they have not missed the message of’resolving polarization’. When I visited the Incheon New Port to check the export status (“A certain degree of growth is necessary to overcome the polarization of the corona, and the contribution of exports is inevitable for growth”). Even at the first meeting of the committee (“How to alleviate and overcome corona inequality, candidates should have an answer”), all messages were focused on “resolving polarization”. ‘Forget about the pardon offer. I think I would like to say, “Huboda, which fits the identity of the Democratic Party, who inherits the Moon Jae-in administration. The hot-blooded party members still appear to be the representative side of Lee Nak-yeon rather than Governor Lee Jae-myeong. On the 6th, on the bulletin board of the Democratic Party’s web site, votes for and against’Resignation of Representative Lee Nak-yeon’ and’Lee Jae-myung’s departure from Gyeonggi Governor’ took place. As of the 21st,’Lee Nak-yeon’s resignation’ had 3,466 people in favor and 6851 people, and’Lee Jae-myung’s exit’ had 377 people opposed to 6703 people. At least, the public opinion on the bulletin board of the party member means’still Lee Nak-yeon’. “The hot-blooded party members say,’I still don’t like Lee Jae-myeong’. ‘Lee Nak-yeon, please give me a reason to support you.’ If we focus on the Democratic reform task of coping with the polarization of the corona, support will survive. There is no need to overdo it.” (Representative Lee’s Personnel) The time from the inauguration of the CEO until the end of last year was’time for homework’ for politician Nak-yeon Lee. As the first prime minister of the Moon Jae-in administration and the representative of the massive ruling party with nearly 180 seats, it was inevitable to legislate the Moon Jae-in administration’s reform task. However, the problem was that this was’homework’. Hopefully, it’s a main battle, and if you don’t, it’s a frame of cursing. It is impossible to score, and there is only a risk of conceding. I wasn’t very good at it. The Fair Economy 3 Act and the Severe Accident Corporate Punishment Act were evaluated as being’raged’ in the process. Many pointed out that Lee did not show a sense of presence in the process of pushing and pulling other sensitive legislation. Lee’s approval rating for’homework period’ continued to fall. The’time for homework’ is over, and the’time for politician Nak-yeon Lee’ has begun. On the 2nd of next month, Lee will give a speech from the second bargaining organization representative after taking office. If the speech in September last year was the debut of’Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon’, this speech is the debut of’President candidate Lee Nak-yeon’. Representative Lee is expected to preach a vision for overcoming the polarization of the corona, centering on the’new welfare system’ that he has been struggling with for a long time. This is the third politics of Nak Yeon-pyo Lee, which follows the ‘Proposal for a pardon-profit sharing system. One month after the speech, Lee concludes his short term as party representative. And a month later, the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election will be held, followed by the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate contest. The main game is right now. Can CEO Lee rebound? I have a lot of time. But time always flows fast.
